More quotes by Claude Monet
The point is to know how to use the colours, the choice of which is, when all's said and done, a matter of habit.
Claude Monet
Despite my exhaustion I have a devil of a time getting to sleep because of the rats above my bed and a pig who lives beneath my room.
Claude Monet
I sometimes feel ashamed that I am devoting myself to artistic pursuits while so many of our people are suffering and dying for us. It's true that fretting never did any good.
Claude Monet
To see we must forget the name of the thing we are looking at.
Claude Monet
I get madder and madder on giving back what I feel.
Claude Monet
For me, the subject is of secondary importance: I want to convey what is alive between me and the subject.
Claude Monet
Take clear water with grass waving at the bottom. It's wonderful to look at, but to try to paint it is enough to make one insane.
Claude Monet
I waited for the idea to consolidate, for the grouping and composition of themes to settle themselves in my brain.
Claude Monet
I would love to do orange and lemon trees silhouetted against the blue sea, but I cannot find them the way I want them.
Claude Monet
No one but myself knows the anxiety I go through and the trouble I give myself to finish paintings which do not satisfy me and seem to please so very few others.
Claude Monet
My heart is forever in Giverny.
Claude Monet
Zaandam has enough to paint for a lifetime.
Claude Monet
Getting up at 4 in the morning, I slave away all day until by the evening I'm exhausted, and I end by forgetting all my responsibilities, thinking only of the work I've set out to do.
Claude Monet
What can be said about a man who is interested in nothing but his painting? It's a pity if a man can only interest himself in one thing. But I can't do any thing else. I have only one interest.
Claude Monet
The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.
Claude Monet
I can only draw what I see.
Claude Monet
One's better off alone, and yet there are so many things that are impossible to fathom on one's own. In fact it's a terrible business and the task is a hard one.
Claude Monet
My aim is to give you only the things with which I am completely satisfied, even if it means asking you a little more [time] for them... for if I were to do otherwise I'd turn into a mere painting machine and you would be landed with a pile of incomplete work which would put off the most enthusiastic of art collectors.
Claude Monet
What I need most of all is color, always, always.
Claude Monet
I'm very happy, very delighted. I'm setting to like a fighting cockerel, for I'm surrounded here by all that I love.
Claude Monet
